“…Soon after the above balloon experiments, many others were successfully performed by Xray astronomy groups spread over many countries (USA, France, Italy, The Netherlands, India, Japan). Most of them were devoted to observations of the Crab, Cygnus region, Sco X-1, Galactic Center region, and, for the first time, hard spectra and time variability were observed (Brini et al 1967;Bleeker et al 1967;Lewin et al 1967;Chodil et al 1968;Haymes et al 1968;Peterson et al 1968;Riegler et al 1968;Overbeck and Tananbaum 1968;Rocchia et al 1969;Glass 1969;Bingham and Clark 1969;Webber and Reinert 1970;Agrawal et al 1971), (Deerenberg and Bleeker 1971;Matsuoka et al 1972).…”

Starting from 1960s, a great number of missions and experiments have been performed for the study of the high-energy sky. This review gives a wide vision of the most important space missions and balloon experiments that have operated in the 10-600 keV band, a crucial window for the study of the most energetic and violent phenomena in the Universe. Thus it is important to take the stock of the achievements to better establish what we have still to do with future missions in order to progress in this field, to establish which are the technologies required to solve the still open issues and to extend our knowledge of the Universe.

In this chapter we briefly review the history of X-ray Astronomy through its missions. We follow a temporal development, from the first instruments onboard rockets and balloons to the most recent and complex space missions. We intend to provide the reader with detailed information and references on the many missions and instruments that have contributed to the success of the exploration of the Xray Universe. We have not included missions that are still operating, providing the world-wide community with high quality observations. Specific chapters for these missions are included in a dedicated section of the handbook.
